Riding the Asian Elephant – Emerging Opportunities in the Asian Technology Landscape

Riding the Asian Elephant – Emerging Opportunities in the Asian Technology Landscape

The role of technology in business has been ever-expanding, leading to increasing opportunities for technology firms. Asia has been at the fore-front of this knowledge Information technology revolution. As the centre of economic gravity begins its journey eastwards, we must ask ourselves the question – What can firms do to successfully ride the Asian elephant?

The Indian School of Business (ISB) and the Business Technology Club invite your presence at the first Annual Technology Conclave, to discuss this topic and much more. Located in Hyderabad, the emerging epicentre of the Indian IT industry, the ISB has always endeavoured to be the focal point for new ideas in this industry. The Conclave aims to bring together visionaries and leaders from diverse sectors like IT/ITeS, Telecom, High-Tech and Semiconductors to delve into the future of Technology in Asia.

In addition to the keynote speech to set the tone of the Conclave, we have two stimulating discussions lined up:

• Asian Markets – New Hotspots for IT Companies
• Improving the Bottomline – Next Generation Business Models

The conclusion also marks the culmination of the BTC-initiated ISB Corporate Challenge. We will also have several other activities to keep you entertained including quizzes and competitions. Finally, the Conclave is a wonderful opportunity to interact with the leaders charged with determining the future of technology.

So, book your calendar for October 23, 2009 and head to the Indian School of Business for the most interesting discussion of technology and its future. Please use the “Contact Us” page to find out more.
